Over priced fashionable tat, cleverly marketed as jewellery. Value to them to replace the stock is probably in the hundreds, not thousands, notice the lack of any sort of meaningful security, obviously metal shutters would far out value the items its protecting?

Nice to see they were dusting for prints this morning. When the place I work at, very nearby, had a break-in, they just gave us a crime number and said there was nothing they could do. Even though there were obvious footprints and fingerprints on/by our door. I guess not being a multi-billion pound multinational made us not worth the bother....

Hear people **** after Swarowski/Pandora stuff. Yes clever marketing for a load of metal and glass. Would I pay £100+, no! But then 'real' jewellery is a rip of too. In Italy at least gold jewellery (18ct as opposed to our 9ct) often sold by weight. Here when I ask the cost by weight am looked at quizzicaly.

Since this is a Pandora & Swarovski store, it clearly isn't owned directly by either of those companies, so probably not fingerprinting because it's a multi-billion pound multinational - I think a lot of the time it's just down to how good the officers are who turn up.

Exactly hence why Pandora don't have any security shutters either, they try to justify the inflated price by displaying them in felt lined display drawers in a shop lined with fake italian marble to give the illusion of expensive quality. If they put a load of plastic beads in a pick'n'mix jar even the most gullible wouldn't be fooled into paying £30 each for them! The funny thing is, as soon as a family member gets a bracelet everyone sighs in relief as they now don't have to think too hard about what to get them for birthdays/christmas/ anniversaries lol

Maybe it was a disgruntled customer that had experienced the poor level of service that I did when I wanted to return a faulty item! Was told not under warranty as the item was purchased outside of the UK, despite being purchased from a recognised Pandora dealer! This was also after my friends and family had spent a small fortune in the store on my special birthday gifts! Went to the Southampton Pandora shop (different franchise) they told me exactly what I thought, I am entitled to return goods at any Pandora shop! I have shopped at Southampton ever since or at Forum in Broadstone. Wouldn't give Bournemouth the pleasure. They may make the shop look nice, but customer service is so much more valuable. What goes around comes around in my opinion.

No, probably that there were very few officers actually on duty, trying to be in ten places at once, because of the cuts to the police force. Very easy to pour scorn when you re anonymous, try doing their job for a day, you wouldn't be so sarcastic then. They have to prioritise emergencies as they come in as there simply isn t enough officers to immediately go to each call.

I walked past this store last night. All the lights were on in the window displays, with vast quantities of both the Pandora stuff and the tat in the other side of the shop sitting inches behind a single piece of plate glass as ever. Word on the street is that the robbers were inside for less than five minutes, and the 'value' of the stuff they took was over £100K. I bet the trade price is less than £10K, otherwise you would think a company with a value of 6.6BN Euro might have spent the money on decent shutters. Clearly their stuff has such a low replacement value it is cheaper to pay the increased premium after a claim!

What is it with these sad people all posting comments on here slagging off the shop and the Police? For gods sake some scumbags have stolen property, how about slagging off them instead! I really do wonder why a lot of people are just so nasty!

Ok blackdog1, I'll bite. The reason that so many sad people are slagging off this shop and police is painfully transparent. Pandora "jewellery" is a worldwide phenomenon, and their marketing is absolutely brilliant. They sell absolute tat to poor dumb people who work hard and save good money to purchase this rubbish for their loved ones gifts. Yes, the scumbags who broke into this store are reprehensible, however, to quote you - the sad people posting comments on this site - do so purely to express their outrage at this damned awful product. The police, poor sods, are caught in the middle. Of course they have to investigate. We'd be in a fine old pickle if they could pick and choose. People aren't necessarily nasty blackdog1, they've just had enough of fairground tat being passed off as jewellery.

Thousands of pounds retail value Intrinsic value? - about a tenner Pandora stuff is one of the biggest cons out - utter rubbish at huge prices

"If" it was one of the "biggest cons out" I am sure Pandora would not be the the success it is 1 billion euro (approx) in worldwide sales in 2013
